Interactions of Some Glycyl Dipeptides with Sodium Butyrate in Aqueous Solutions at 298.15 K: A Volumetric and Conductometric Study Zhenning Yan,*,† Xiaoge Wang,† Ronghua Xing,† and Jianji Wang‡ Department of Chemistry, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan 450052, P.

Densities and conductivity data for the sodium butyrate-glycyl dipeptide (glycylglycine, glycyl-L-valine, glycyl-L-leucine)-water systems were determined at 298.15 K. These data have been used to calculate apparent molar volumes of the dipeptides and limiting molar conductivity (Λo) of sodium butyrate. The o standard partial molar volumes (V2,φ ), standard partial molar volumes of transfer for dipeptide from water to aqueous sodium butyrate solutions (∆tVo), the hydration number, and volumetric interaction coefficients have been calculated. An increase in the transfer volumes and a decrease in hydration number of the dipeptide with increasing sodium butyrate concentrations have been explained due to stronger interactions of sodium butyrate with the charged center and glycyl unit of the peptide compared to the sodium butyrate-nonpolar o group in peptide interactions. Using the V2,φ values of the amino acids and an additivity relationship, the standard partial molar volumes of the peptides were estimated. The decrease in Λo with an increase in dipeptide concentration is attributed to the interaction of sodium butyrate with the dipeptides and the friction resistance of the solvent medium.

Introduction The study of the interactions between proteins and salt solutions provides an insight into the conformational stability and unfolding behavior of the biopolymers. Salt solutions have large effects on the structure and properties of proteins including their solubility, denaturation, dissociation into subunits, and the activity of enzymes.1,2 However, for their complete understanding, we need a proper idea for the state and the behavior of the protein in the medium.3 Because of the structural complexities of proteins and the nonfeasibility of direct thermodynamic studies, amino acids and small peptides are often used as model compounds because they are building blocks of proteins. Small peptides, which contain more complex structure and more components of proteins than amino acids, have attracted wide interest recently. There have been some investigations on thermodynamic properties of some peptides in aqueous solutions4–9 and aqueous simple salt solutions.10–20 However, there are only a few studies about properties of peptides in aqueous organic salt solutions,13,14,21,22 probably due to the complex nature of their interactions. An organic salt sodium butyrate (NaC4) has hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. It has many biological characteristics. For example, sodium butyrate can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. It is an energy source of cell differentiation, which can ensure the repair of injured chorion and accelerate proliferation and maturation of gastrointestinal cells, etc. Sodium butyrate is known to influence the dissociation of proteins in solution23 and cause a salting-out of nonelectrolytes.24 On the other hand, the peptides are important molecules due to their wide application in drug production and their role as signal transmitters in cell communications.2 The systematic study of * Corresponding author.

peptides can provide valuable information about their behavior in solutions and insight into the conformational stability of proteins. For this purpose, in the present paper, we report the studies on the interaction of sodium butyrate with glycyl dipeptides (glycylglycine, glycyl-L-valine, glycyl-L-leucine) by densimetry and conductometry at 298.15 K. The results are discussed in terms of the structural interaction and electrostatic interaction and the hydration model of glycyl dipeptide molecules.

Experimental Section Chemicals. Glycylglycine (99.0 %, Sigma), glycyl-L-valine (99.0 %, Sigma), and glycyl-L-leucine (99.0 %, Sigma) were twice recrystallized from aqueous ethanol solutions and dried for 24 h under vacuum at room temperature. They were then stored over P2O5 in a desiccator before use. Analytical reagent grade sodium butyrate (> 99.0 %, Shanghai Chem. Co.) was twice recrystallized from aqueous ethanol solutions and dried under vacuum at 383 K for 2 days before use. Potassium chloride (99.999 %, Aldrich Chem. Co.) was dried for 2 days at 373 K and was used to determine the conductance cell constant. Water with a conductivity of < 1.0 µΩ-1 · cm-1 was obtained by distilling deionized water from alkaline KMnO4 to remove any organic matter. All solutions were prepared freshly by weighing on the molality scale. Apparatus and Procedures. Solution densities were measured to ( 3 · 10-6 g · cm-3 with an Anton Paar DMA 60/602 vibratingtube digital densimeter that was calibrated daily at 298.15 K using dry air and water with a conductivity of less than 1.0 µΩ-1 · cm-1. The densimeter was thermostatted using Schott thermostat units, which have a thermal stability of ( 0.005 K. A conductivity meter (model 145A+, Thermo Orion) with a precision of ( 0.5 % and a conductivity cell (model 011510, Thermo Orion) were used for the measurement of conductivity of each sample. The conductance cell was equipped with a water circulating jacket, and the temperature was controlled within

Values of V2,φ evaluated by weighted least-squares regression analysis. The standard partial molar volumes for the glycyl dipeptides in water and in aqueous solutions of sodium butyrate are represented in Table 3 along with their standard deviations. It can be seen that o values for the studied peptides in water agree well with the V2,φ literature values.5,25 The Vo2,φ values for the dipeptides are higher in aqueous sodium butyrate solutions than in water, and these values increase with the concentration of the cosolute. Further, o values increase from glycylglycine to glycylvaline to the V2,φ o values is due to the glycylleucine. The increase in the V2,φ increase in the size of the alkyl side chain of amino acids constituting the dipeptides. To illuminate the contribution of the groups of the peptides to Vo2,φ, the Vo2,φ values of the groups have been calculated. From the difference between Vo2,φ values of the studied dipeptides and o values of the peptide the corresponding amino acids,26 the V2,φ backbone unit (CH2CONH) and the group (CONH) have been

calculated and are reported in Table 4. The alkyl side chain of o glycylvaline and glycylleucine contributions to the V2,φ values given in Table 4 have been calculated from the difference in o o values of homologous glycyl peptides. The V2,φ values of V2,φ the groups in aqueous solution are also listed in Table 4. It is o o (CH2CONH) and V2,φ (CONH) are seen from this table that V2,φ larger than those in water, whereas the alkyl side chain o of the peptides are smaller than those in contributions to V2,φ water. These results indicate that these groups have a different hydration effect in mixed solutions. The interaction of ions of NaC4 with the hydrophilic peptide backbone unit of peptides through electrostatic interactions leads to a reduction in their electrostriction of the solvent and an increase in Vo2,φ(CH2CONH) o (CONH). This interaction results in a positive volume and V2,φ change. On the other hand, the sodium butyrate-side chain group interactions give a negative volume effect. In previous studies, the volume properties of some dipeptides (especially glycylglycine) in NaCl,19 NaSCN,13 and o CH3COONa22 solutions have been reported. The values of V2,φ for glycylglycine and glycyl-L-leucine in aqueous solutions of 1.0 mol · kg-1 NaCl, NaSCN, and CH3COONa are given in Table o for the peptides at the same 5. It is found that the trend of V2,φ salt concentration follows the order

CH3(CH2)2COO- > CH3COO- > Cl- > SCNIt suggests that the order for the interactions between the anion and the peptides follows the above order. This order is consistent with that of the hydration ability of these anions.27,28 Robinson and Jencks24 studied the effect of a number of salt solutions on the activity coefficient of acetyltetraglycine ethyl ester (ATGEE), which is a model compound for peptides and proteins. From their salting-out constants, the order of the salting-out effect CH3COO- > Cl- > SCN- was obtained. This indicated that the dehydration effect of ions on dipeptides is one of the important reasons for the salting-out of dipeptides. Mishra and Ahluwalia25 proposed an additivity relationship o in which the V2,φ values of a dipeptide were made up of the o values of the respective amino acids, with sum of the V2,φ additional terms to allow for the loss of groups and changes in o o (dipeptide) ) V2,φ (first electrostriction. The relationship is V2,φ o amino acid) + V2,φ(second amino acid) + 10.5 (for a decrease in electrostriction due to loss of CO2- and NH3+ groups) - 18 (for removal of 1 mol of H2O) - 3.4 (for the increase in electrostriction due to separation of charged centers). Using the o values of glycine, valine, and leucine in aqueous NaC4 V2,φ o solutions26 and the above equation, the V2,φ values of glycyl dipeptides studied in this work can be calculated. The results are given in Table 6. It is found that excellent agreement

Properties of the water molecules in the hydration cosphere depend on the nature of the solute species.30 The following type of interactions can occur in the ternary system of peptide-NaC4-water: (a) ion-ion interactions between the Na+ ion and the COO- group in the peptide and between the CH3CH2CH2COO- group and the NH3+ group in the peptide; (b) ion-peptide group interactions between ions of sodium butyrate (Na+, CH3CH2CH2COO-) and the peptide backbone unit (-CH2CONH) of dipeptides; (c) ion-nonpolar (hydrophobic) group interactions between ions of sodium butyrate and nonpolar groups of the dipeptides. If the cosphere overlap model is followed, ion-ion interactions and ion-peptide group interactions would lead to a positive ∆tV o. On the other hand, ion-nonpolar group interactions would lead to a negative ∆tV o. Since we have observed positive ∆tV o for all the dipeptides, we conclude that ion-ion interactions and ion-peptide group interactions are stronger than ion-nonpolar group interactions. This conclusion supports our results of the standard partial molar volumes. With increasing NaC4 concentration, this interaction will become stronger, and therefore ∆tV o increases. Since there are larger nonpolar side chains of the valine (leucine) unit in glycyl-L-valine (glycyl-L-leucine) than diglycine, more positive ∆tV o values for diglycine in comparison to glycyl-L-valine and glycyl-L-leucine were observed. The number of water molecules (nH) hydrated to the glycyl dipeptides can be estimated from the electrostriction partial o (elect)31 by molar volume V2,φ

where Veo is the molar volume of electrostricted water and Vbo is the molar volume of bulk water. The value of (Veo - Vbo) is o (elect) calculated to be -3.3 cm3 · mol-1 at 298.15 K.31 The V2,φ values can be calculated32 from the intrinsic partial molar o volume of the glycyl dipeptides V2,φ (int)33,34 and the experio mentally determined V2,φ values by o o o V 2,φ (elect) ) V 2,φ (glycyl dipeptides) - V 2,φ (int) (5)

The Vo2,φ(int) is made up of two terms: the van der Waals volume o (int) and the volume due to packing effects. The values of V2,φ for the glycyl dipeptides were calculated from the crystal molar volume as below31

o V 2,φ (int) ) (0.7/0.634)M/Fr

(6)

where Fr is the crystal density of the glycyl dipeptide. The values of crystal densities of glycylglycine, glycyl-L-valine, and glycylL-leucine determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction are (1.534, 1.251, and 1.176) g · cm-3, respectively. The obtained nH values are included in Table 8. The charged end groups of peptides have a strong hydration ability. The peptide bond group, which is a polar group, strengthens the hydration ability of the peptides. The hydration numbers mainly come from the electrostriction effect of the charged end/peptide bond groups of dipeptides on water. It can be seen from Table 8 that nH values for a given dipeptide are less than those in water and decrease with an increase in the concentration of sodium butyrate. This phenomenon suggests that interactions between ions of sodium butyrate and the charged end/peptide bond groups become stronger with the concentration of cosolutes. The electrostriction of water caused by the charged end/peptide bond groups of dipeptides will be largely reduced, which results in a larger decrease in nH. This clearly indicates that electrolytes have a dehydration effect on the glycyl dipeptides in aqueous salt solutions. This is consistent with the observed increase in ∆tVο with increasing sodium butyrate concentration. Similar behavior has also been observed in the case of some peptides in KCl,15 sodium acetate, and magnesium acetate solutions.22 Friedman and Kirshnan35 suggested that the standard thermodynamic properties of transfer can reflect the interaction between solute and solvent. The volume behavior of a solute at infinite dilution is dependent on solute-solvent interactions and thus determined only by the respective intrinsic value and the solute-solvent interactions. The standard transfer volumes can be expressed as 2 ∆tV o ) 2VxymNaC4 + 3VxyymNaC 4

(7)

where x stands for peptides and y stands for NaC4, respectively. The Vxy and Vxyy are the pair and triplet volumetric interaction coefficients, respectively, for the studied peptides. These results are given in Table 9. The Vxy and Vxyy are positive and negative, respectively, for the studied peptides in the cosolute. The magnitude of Vxy is greater than Vxyy, which suggests that interactions between peptides and NaC4 are mainly pairwise and the higher interaction terms are less important. The conductance data (Λ) of sodium butyrate in aqueous and aqueous (0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2) mol · kg-1 dipeptide solutions are listed in Table 10. Limiting molar conductivity (Λ0) of NaC4 was obtained by least-squares fitting the experimental data in Table 10 to the expression36

Λ ) Λ0 -

A√c 1 + B√c

(8)

where Λ0, A, and B are fitting parameters and c is the molarity of NaC4 in mol · dm-3 and was obtained by converting from molality with the density. The resulting values are given in Table 11. It may be noted from Table 11 that the values of Λ0 in peptide solutions are very low as compared with that in water. This is expected on account of the highly viscous nature of aqueous peptide solution and also due to a possible stronger ion-solvent interaction.37 Table 11 shows that the Λ0 value for NaC4 decreases with an increasing peptide content in solution. This can be ascribed to the facts that (i) an increase in microscopic viscosity of the medium with an increase in dipeptide concentration increases the frictional coefficient of the medium thereby retarding the mobility of the ions in solution and (ii) an increase

in peptide content of the mixtures causes the attraction between NaC4 and the peptide to increase, and hence presolvation of ions by peptide molecules, causing an increase of the hydrodynamic radii of ions and a decrease of their mobility.
